Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 43

Rebecca and Debra pulled into the parking garage beneath the Imperial Mall and headed inside.

Two nannies pushed baby strollers behind them, with Lily and Kev lying inside, observing the beautiful mall with their mom and grandma. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Rebecca and Debra browsed the mall from the outside in, checking out high–quality stores. If they found something they liked, they’d try it on, and they’d buy it if it fit.

At first, Rebecca thought it was excessive to buy so many clothes, but her mom’s credit card was on fire, and there was no stopping her. They just packed everything up!

The maid followed behind them, taking the purchased items from her mom and skillfully carrying all the bags as if she’d been doing it her whole life.

The grown–up stuff was easy enough, but it was the baby gear that really mattered. In the baby store, Debra went wild, grabbing every adorable thing in sight, whether Lilian and Kev needed it or not.

Rebecca couldn’t help but shake her head. Still, it was heartwarming to see how much her dad spoiled her mom. It was clear he really loved Debra, and her mom must be living the dream. This whole thing must be the reason her mom could buy anything she wanted.

Since the Carter family’s fortune could handle it, Rebecca didn’t say anything. As long as her mom was happy, that was all that mattered!

After hours of shopping, they finally reached Glamour Closet.

The sight of the sign made both Debra and Rebecca pause, and a grin spread across their face.

Patrick had personally gotten them a gold card for Glamour Closet, so the clothes there must be good, right?

“Let’s check it out,” Debra smiled.

Rebecca nodded, excited. “Okay!”

But they didn’t expect to see a familiar face as soon as they walked in – Lesley!

Lesley wasn’t alone. Some other woman was with her, probably a friend..

She was also taken aback when she turned around and saw Rebecca.

Rebecca and Lesley looked at each other, neither making a move to greet the other..

made Rebecca uncomfortable.

Rebecca quickly looked away and turned to the clothes in the Glamour Closet store.

“Bring out your latest collection, please.” Debra suddenly spoke up. Like she was in other stores, she always shopped with an open wallet, always demanding the newest designs.

Hearing this, Lesley panicked and quickly said, “Hey! I saw those clothes first. You can’t buy them!”

Rebecca and Debra turned to stare at Lesley, along with the store staff.

Debra rolled her eyes. “Are you crazy?”

“Excuse me, ladies, which piece are you interested in?” the salesperson quickly approached, warmly asking Rebecca and Debra.

Debra said calmly. “We’d like to see the latest collection.”

“You can’t buy the better one!” Lesley was anxious, her face full of worry and nervousness.

The reality show shoot had just ended, and as soon as they got back to the car, her agent had scolded her severely for not helping Janet at all and almost making her a fool.

Her agent urged her to send a gift to Janet and apologize to her, or else she should be prepared to be frozen out by the company.

She had a ten–year contract, and getting benched wasn’t an option, or her career would be over!

The agent mentioned that Glamour Closet’s contract was up for grabs, and the company was pushing Janet for it. If she gifted Janet something from their latest line, it could help her snag the endorsement and maybe even smooth things over after the variety show fiasco.

This time, she bit the bullet, spending her living expenses for the next six months to buy a piece of the latest collection!

Even so, she didn’t buy the best one because it was too expensive, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, even close to a million. She couldn’t afford it, nor was she willing to spend that much.

Spending that much on someone else felt like a punch to the gut.

She had bought a second–tier dress. Though not the best, it was still expensive, costing over a hundred thousand

dollars!

Originally, she just needed to deliver the dress to Janet, and everything would be fine. But who would have thought she’d run into Becky there?

Outsiders wouldn’t know about Becky and Janet’s relationship, but everyone on the show knew. Becky was very likely Theodore’s legitimate wife. But what about Janet?

Janet was probably just a mistress trying to be the lady of the house!

If she gave the second–tier Glamour Closet dress to Janet and then Janet saw Becky wearing a top–tier Glamour Closet dress from the latest collection, Lesley was sure she’d be in big trouble!

She was making things worse, not better, and all her money would be wasted!

“Becky… About what happened on the show, it was my fault. Could you please…listen to me this time?

“I’ve already bought the Glamour Closet dress. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to wear the same dress as someone else, right?

“With your status… You can afford something way better, am I right?”

With that in mind, Lesley carefully tried to flatter Rebecca.

The salesperson was speechless. They quickly stepped forward to explain, “Ms. Bretherton, our brand offers a wide range of styles, even within our latest collection. These ladies can easily find something different to avoid any overlap!”

Several assistants came out, each holding a different design from the new collection. They turned to Rebecca and Debra, cautiously asking, “Would you like to try these on, ladies?”

Another assistant added, “We can also have our models show you the clothes if you’d prefer.”

When Debra and Rebecca walked in, the sales assistants recognized that these ladies were truly distinguished and were determined to provide impeccable service.

The head salesperson even brought over two chairs, gesturing for them to sit.

Not only did Debra and Rebecca get comfortable on the seat, but the waiter also brought out desserts and drinks, treating them like the queens.

The next moment, the salesperson took the clothes backstage.

A few minutes later, the store’s lights dimmed, and the runway lights came on. Models wearing the latest Glamour Closet outfits walked onto the central runway, showcasing them to Rebecca and Debra.
